We propose a method for selection of input-output factors in DEA. It is designed to select better combinations of input-output factors that are well suited for evaluating substantial performance of DMUs. Several selected DEA models with different input-output factors combinations are evaluated, and the relationship between the computed efficiency scores and a single performance criterion of DMUs is investigated using decision tree. Based on the results of decision tree analysis, a relatively better DEA model can be chosen, which is expected to well represent the true performance of DMUs. We illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by applying it to the efficiency evaluation of 101 listed companies in steel and metal industry.

A surfaced permanent magnet spherical motor is capable of operating as three degree of freedom that used for the joints of the robot's arm, leg, and eyes. Ongoing research like new concept is essential part of motor field, it will make a great contribution in the future the overall portion of the motor, is becoming expected. The author analysis torque characteristics in spherical motor with state of rotating and positioning. And future design direction is smaller motors with equivalent or higher output. Solutions as torque and efficiency improvements are selecting the core with special processing type like powder metallurgy materials. Their special characteristic is high permeability and low eddy current losses at high speed, so improved the torque and efficiency.

The photovoltaic industry is growing at a tremendous speed. And it can be one of the key factors for success in the photovoltaic business to choose a suitable system, and setting it up right so as to get a maximum efficiency of the site. Therefore, it is regarded to be necessary to research the efficiency of systems to catch maximum photovoltaic energy. In this research, the expected power generation efficiencies are analysed, and compared with each other. This research considered the direct sunlight only, and the angle between the direction of solar panel and sunlight as factors to affect the power generation. Therefore, only rough analyses and estimations are found on 3 systems of fixed system, double-axes tracking system, and horizontal tracking system.

The objective of this study is to measure and to predict the efficiency of participating groups of BK 21 by using DEA. DEA is a methodology to measure and to evaluate the relative efficiency of a homogeneous set of decision-making units (DMUs) in a process which uses multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. In order to reflect the effect of the environmental factors of BK 21, we consider not only a general DEA model but also a logistic model for DEA. As a result, location of participating groups of BK 21 turns out to be significant. Our proposed approach can predict the efficiency of a new BK 21 group with given environmental factors. It is expected that these models can give a feedback for effective management of BK 21.

Plasma process has great possibilities to remove SOx, NOx simultaneously with high treatment efficiency and is expected to be suitable for small or middle plants. It was accomplished to evaluate SO2, NOx control possibility and achieve basic data to control pollutants by use of Surface Discharge Induced Plasma Chemical Process (SPCP) in this study. O3 generation characteristics by discharge of a plate was proportional to O2 concentration and power consumption and inversely proportional to temperature and humidity, In case of dry air, NOx was highly generated by N2 and O2 in air during the plasma discharge process but it was decreased considerably as H2O was added. SO2 removal efficiency was very high, and removal rate was 170,350 mEA at 30,50 watt respectively in flue gas which is usually contain HIO. NOx removal efficiency was about 57% at 40 watt power consumption with 7.5% humidity. It is estimated that H2O has an important role in reaction mechanism with pollutants according to plasma discharge.

In recent years Korea fisheries have been much more influenced than ever before by domestic and foreign environmental changes such as market liberalization, sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness of domestic fisheries, fisher's welfare etc. Under the wide range of environmental changes, government is carrying out various fisheries policies. However, it seems insufficient to accomplish policy goals under the existing policy instruments. The main focus of the paper is to investigate structural changes and policy directions of fisheries finance in Korea after asian economic crisis. The results of the study are as follows; Fisheries sector in whole economy has been lowering in its proportion. To survive in emerging global competition, fisheries sector is needed structural reformation. In particular the strategy that increases operative efficiency and effectiveness on government financial policy in fisheries sector is much expected. Also, it is necessary to minimize costs, to reform institution and management for increasing efficiency and effectiveness.

During the fierce competition among the companies, improvement of logistics center managing efficiency is importantly recognized. Among them, studies on improvement of picking work process on about 55% of logistics center managing costs are continuously conducted. And, most of studies focus on analysis on strengths and weaknesses of picking method performable on the stage of logistics center design, etc, so the purposes of this research are to define load location rule by product releasing frequency in logistics managing environment based on conveyer and suggest expected effects by simulation analyzing method to improve picking managing efficiency.

Minimum Energy Performance Standard(MEPS) has been adapted in Korea since 2008. For at least 37 kW, IE3 efficiency class motors are now mandatory in Korea. IE4 level regulation is expected in a few years. Foreign companies are already selling IE4 class motors in the market, and the discussions on IE5 have already started. The efficiency standard of variable speed motors is scheduled for publication shortly. Recently, discussions are now beginning to prepare for IE5 in Korea. In this paper, author reviews the policies associated with a high efficent electric motors by reference to both domestic and international standards, and reviews the research direction to prepare for IE5.

This paper proposes a R&D project performance measurement model for private firms combining balanced scorecard (BSC) and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The efficiency of R&D projects is measured in terms of each of the three perspectives of BSC by using DEA : the internal process perspective (DEA-P), the customer perspective (DEA-C), and the financial perspective (DEA-F). The performance indicators of the three perspectives of BSC are considered as outputs of the corresponding DEA models. To provide strategic implications for R&D planning, we also propose the R&D project performance matrices composed of two different types of efficiency dimensions. The proposed model is expected to be fruitfully utilized for R&D performance measurement of private firms.

Increase of consumption in limited coal reserves leads prices surging. As a result, iron works which produce products with coal are in difficulties. Accordingly, it is required a lot of research of using non-caking coal that is relatively low cost and has abundant reserves. Direct drying and indirect drying are two major methods of drying the coal. Recently, to minimize the needed calories and to save energy, using fluidbed or fluidizing method is a recent main trend of minimizing the size of the facility and maximizing energy efficiency. However there is also disadvantage such as increasing facility investment because of installing additional facilities in the latter part. In this study, we will have theoretical researches on the indirect drying method with heat exchange system which have been traditionally used. As a result it is expected to increase the efficiency of the facility operation.
